Catch the first eight minutes of Netflix's Stranger Things!

The Netflix series Stranger Things hits the airwaves tomorrow (does that term even makes sense anymore?). While I'm tremendously excited to check out the Spielbergian thrills of this mighty intriguing series, Netflix is already one step ahead of me. They've released the first eight minutes of the show ahead of the premiere, a clip entitled "The Vanishing of Will Byers." So if you want to join me and get a taste of this dark 80's throwback, check out the video below!

Described as "a love letter to the '80s classics that captivated a generation," Stranger Things is:

Set in Hawkins, Indiana in the 1980's. It chronicles the search for a young boy who vanishes into thin air under highly suspicious circumstances. His mother opens an investigation into the boy's disappearance with local authorities that unravels a series of mysteries involving top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one very strange little girl.
